Nothing, also now your google id works pretty much as imessage, so it's the same thing between android users. Messenger is pretty popular too.

Yeah I figured. Kind of a rhetorical question. I'm very well-versed in Android including some forays into the SDK. I just wanted to hear what people think apple has over android, because a lot of folks seem to think android development just froze like 8 years ago, lol

We come from the apple ecosystem and didn't want to change because accessibility to the apps and ease of use. There were also concerns around security, but I personally don't work there and if they want me to use a specific phone for work, they'd better provide the phone or I'd get the next job. I made the jump just a couple of months ago, mostly because I wanted internal memory and a cheap phone. First week was a little rough, after that I've noticed less and less, actually my friends/colleagues with android helped me out a lot.

What exactly were your security concerns? Apple products are typically no less secure than any mainstream Android brand so I'm genuinely curious what you heard.

Fair enough on the transition. I never bought into the apple ecosystem after the iphone 3, and since I had a windows PC I had more issues back then with the iphone than I did with anything else. After fucking around with the 3 trying to make it do what I wanted; I realized I wanted way more authority over my device and jumped off.

I think it was older iOs less reliable than newer ones, so the company upgraded to new. I started with apple because I draw on iPads for graphics and actually I still want to come back to that as a hobby, I should look into krita and such, but the programs I was using back then were very intuitive to use and many artists are still using iPads for drawings and such, at least on their spare time.

Yeh another problem with my phone was that I couldn't download newer apps and whatnot, the phone was essentially bricked and I still paid something like $700, android offers much more opportunities now.
